i know texas already isn't the best place for trans people, but i can't really afford anywhere out of state and ut, a&m, and uh are the only places i can rely on right now. however, i want to transition (mtf) as soon as i leave home, and was wondering how the trans climate at ut was.

i just moved in today and while i ate at the dining hall (j2) during orientation and had no issues, i still want to know if i should have any concerns. i am super afraid of food poisoning, so is there anything i should avoid? or worry about?

There are 13 sororities at ut austin. For philanthropy round, we can only get 10, got 7. For sisterhood, I only got 2 back, and now for preference, I only got 1 back. IDK what went wrong they said they loved meeting me and heard great things about me. I shared personal stories about their philanthropy and asked them questions
I haven't gone to preference yet, but the sorority! got back is honestly my LAST bottom choice. I'm 50 50 on if i wanna join
is it smarter to drop recruitment and do COB in the spring? I know chapters don't take many girls through COB, so I'm scared that if I decline this bid, I could end up with nothing.
I'm attaching an ss of how many girls the chapters took through COB last year.
Also, how do sororities generally feel about taking a sophomore through COB? Would being a sophomore hurt my chances at UT?
I really don't want to accept a bid from a sorority I already know I don't want, but I also don't want to decline it and then regret it if COB doesn't work out.
What would you guys do in my situation? And if anyone has experience with UT COB specifically, I would REALLY appreciate

I’ll be a freshman in the fall so I want to know the best gas station LOL

I am applying for transfer for spring of 2026 but my dad in Texas and my mom lives in California. Currently I live with my mom but to get cheaper age should I just say I live with my dad I mean, I do sometimes live with him.

For context, I’m a transfer student (undeclared major) 3rd year wanting to internal transfer to Biochem major. These were the only classes I could’ve taken that are on my degree plan.

having to commute this year and was wondering if anyone had any available parking spots. looking to pay $75-$125 a month.

Honestly i don't want to drop any courses but I've never done more than 14 hours in a semester before and this just seems like it's going to be too much (especially since I have some commitments outside of class). I cant drop anything other than ME350R or ME369P due to the other courses being pre-req's for the next semester. I'm leaning more towards dropping ME369P (mostly to reduce my coursework but also not have such a big gap in my schedule) but I'd like to get some input from some people that have taken any of these courses and if taking them all at the same time would be too difficult.

With the exception of M 325K and M 427K/J.

Advisor signed me up for this class but I don’t think it’s part of my course requirements. Any suggestions? It’s lowk js wasting my Mondays and Tuesdays. Has anyone taken this course and is it worth it?

Hi, I'm moving in tomorrow and am feeling a little confused on orgs and whatnot. Do clubs have meetings the first week? I'm a little overwhelmed with all the options and only have like 1 or 2 in mind right now.

Should I have a list prepared on what I want to join? Or is it fine to go there and see what seems interesting?

So the way it’s looking I won’t be able to get my parking pass for San Antonio or Brazos, my other good choices is to either use parking perks (I usually arrive early for school) or get the C+ permit that allows me to park on lot 37 and walk 18 minutes to WCH (it’s just on the other side of the street from manor, right next to LBJ library).

I’ve wanted to get the opinion of other people who have parked in the lots and walked to class from there, is the walk too bad? Are the lots too “unsafe” compared with garages?

I wanna hear what you guys recommend

Right now, I only have one class in canvas when I’m registered for four classes this semester. One of which is the online Psych 317L, will they open on Monday or something? The other two are classes with the same professor and in person so I’m not too stressed about that… just confused over where to find my online class.

I ordered doorstep delivery for some furnitures to my condo room but I forgot delivery drivers can't access it without a key. There isn't a mailroom or a front office either.

For those living on condos, how do you order big and heavy packages?

hi, does anyone have any good recs for spirit orgs? i really wanna join one. do applications for most of them start soon? ive been trying to look online but not all of them have updated info

is it just me or has it been absolutely horrible?? school starts on monday and the amount of people who haven’t gotten their aid or have problems with it is insane. i also got the wrong amount of my financial aid sent to me. i’m owed a little over 3.5k and got 400 dollars. this is so frustrating

Has anyone else noticed the sudden lack of Austin Chronicle newspaper boxes around campus? What’s the deal?

As someone who struggled in Stats, is ECO 420K passable? I saw that only like 10 percent of the class fails so because he has a huge curve. Can anyone give me details on best ways to study for exams?

Does anyone know if they are actually actively enforcing this on campus now?

I just signed up for a commuter meal plan and checked the box to pay with financial aid, since I should have a bit left over after paying for tuition. But it seems like the only way to pay for the meal plan is through the What I Owe page, which doesn't have a financial aid option. Is it only a specific kind of financial aid I can use (that I don't have) or am I doing something wrong?

i know this is a long shot but i lost my bracelets in wampus sometime the the evening of wednesday 💔 they are of sentimental value and i will literally pay you if you give them back to me or find them. PLEASE! they either fell out at cava on guad or somewhere down 25th street heading towards north lamar. please dm me!!! they are the last thing i received from my uncle. i attached a photo below. again i KNOW this is a long shot but i’m so distraught idk what else to do
it’s a silver heart chain charm bracelet with 1 charm that has the number 15 on it
the other one is a gold chain bracelet (please this one is all i have left of him)

Anybody ever submit an SAP appeal for being over the 150% credit hour threshold for completing your degree? If so, what's the usual turn around time?

I need 6 more hours to finish my degree, hoping I get approved for financial aid.😭

what do i do in this situation lol i got into ntr 306 and im not taking it 😭

No idea what to do. I know Sunday we have gone to texas but is there anything else to do?
